Russell Arnett will become a Catholic priest during an ordination ceremony at St. Jerome Parish in Oconomowoc on Saturday. He will be the first married Catholic priest in the Milwaukee Archdiocese.

Arnett began his journey into Catholicism after first becoming an Episcopalian priest many years ago. He said the more he served as an Episcopal priest, the more he felt drawn to Catholicism.

He and his wife, whom he met while attending Nashotah House in the late 1990s while becoming an Episcopal priest, converted to Catholicism in 2007. They moved to Oconomowoc and Arnett began his journey of becoming a Catholic priest. He also taught adult and youth ministries at St. Jerome.

Oconomowoc also holds the distinction of being the only town in the U.S. whose name contains five, and only five, of the same vowel in one word. Santa Barbara, CA and Greeley Center, NE do it in two words.

Thanks, Mark. New things one learns from this forum never ceases to amaze me. Oconomowoc sounds like a street version of “I can no more walk”.

We can easily beat that in Australia.
Just off the top of my head, we’ve got Woolloomooloo and Goonoo Goonoo in NSW (both 8 Os) and Tangambalanga in Vic. (5 As), and . And probably quite a few others.

I’ll raise 13A’s to your 5, with 2001 Miss Aloha’s name, Peter. Including forename and surname makes for 17.

At the risk of mis-spelling her name, I have to resort to copy and paste. Sorry about the caps.

Very nice, but we were talking about words with only one repeated vowel (Your example has all 5 vowels). And we were talking about names of towns, not names of people.

I know. I just thought I’d throw it in for novelty’s sake as one rarely comes across a name with 17 A’s in it.
